It’s confirmed. Next spring, you could get your hands on a pair of Nike Mags, the self-lacing trainers worn by Marty when he travelled Back To The Future.

Yes those power-lacing trainers are now real.

The news we’d all eagerly awaited on Back To The Future Day was confirmed in a series of tweets from Michael J. Fox himself.

First, he shared a letter from the shoe’s designer Tinker Hatfield. It began: ‘Hey Michael, almost thirty years ago, we embarked on a journey to create a glimpse ‘into the future’. Although the project started as science fiction, we’re now proud to turn that fiction into fact.’

The 2015 Nike Mag is a limited edition release. It will only be available via auction, with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The specific details on the auctions will be posted to Nike News and via Twitter @Nike in spring 2016.
